World's strongest ocean current is slowing down

The world's strongest ocean current should be getting faster – instead, it is at risk of failing
Antarctica's remote and mysterious current has a profound influence on the climate, food systems and Antarctic ecosystems. Can we stop it weakening by 2050?
Melting Antarctic ice projected to slow world’s strongest ocean current
Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the ocean's salt levels, potentially disrupting the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current Could Slow 20 Percent by 2050 Because of Climate Change, Study Finds
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is involved in everything from storing carbon to guarding Antarctica from invasive marine species, and a slower current could have far-reaching consequences
Melting Antarctic Ice is Expected to Slow Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current – Here’s Why It Matters
Melting Antarctic ice could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by 20% by 2050, disrupting climate, rising sea levels, and harming marine ecosystems.
Melting Antarctic ice sheets will slow Earth's strongest ocean current
Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators, including sea level rise,
Scientists Ring Alarm Bells Over Earth's Strongest Ocean Current Slowing Down

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) has transported more than 173 million cubic meters of water before you even finish reading this sentence.
Earth’s Most Powerful Ocean Current Is Dying – And No One Is Ready!
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the most powerful ocean current on Earth, is slowing down due to the rapid melting of Antarctic ice sheets. Scientists project a 20% slowdown by 2050, a shift that could disrupt global climate patterns,
